Deserter (Dezertir) is a 1933 Soviet B&W film directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin. A young Hamburg worker Karl Renn (Boris Livanov) is a member of the German Communist party, but he doesn't show courage in the direct struggle with strikebreakers and police and even deserts a picket-line. His elder comrade Ludwig Zelle chooses Karl as a member of the delegation to the Soviet Union. Karl works together with Soviet workers on a mechanical plant but when gets news that Zelle is killed by police, he returns to Germany and becomes an active member of the struggle.
